Title: Connector for hard-line coaxial cable
Inventor: MALLOY ALLEN L
IPC: H01R24/38
Filed: 2003-05-16
Abstract: The present invention is a connector for connecting a coaxial cable to a device. The coaxial cable generally has a center conductor, an outer conductor, and a cable jacket. The connector includes a first portion and a second portion that are configured to be removably connected while providing both an electrical and mechanical connection between the front nut and back nut assemblies. The connector includes a ferrule having a split tubular body with first and second portions configured to cooperate with two pairs of cooperating biasing rings so that the first pair of biasing rings radially compress the first portion about the outer conductor while the second pair of biasing rings radially compress the second portion about the cable jacket.

Title: Paper input guide for a transfer zone in a xerographic printing apparatus
Inventor: ANDERSON DAVID G
IPC: G03G15/16
Filed: 2003-05-26
Abstract: A printing apparatus includes a guide member for directing sheets toward a transfer zone. The guide member defines a set of ribs which hold the sheets above the main surface of the guide member. Thus, any stray marking material which lands on the guide member is relatively unlikely to contact a sheet moving over the guide member.

Title: Improved method for refining vegetable oil
Inventor: BELCHER MAURICE W
IPC: C07F9/10
Filed: 1999-07-09
Abstract: The present invention relates to improved methods for refining vegetable oils and byproducts thereof. This invention also relates to an improved process for deodorizing lecithin. The invention additionally relates to deodorized lecithin and deodorized vegetable oil obtained by improved processes of the invention. In an organic acid refining process, vegetable oil is combined with a dilute aqueous organic acid solution and subjected to high shear to finely disperse the acid solution in the oil. The resulting acid-and- oil mixture is mixed at low shear for a time sufficient to sequester contaminants into a hydrated impurities phase, producing a purified vegetable oil phase. In a lecithin deodorizing process, a phosphatide concentrate is contacted with steam in a dryer operating at a pressure below 50 mm Hg and at a temperature of less than about 150° F to form lecithin containing no more than about 0.5 percent by weight water. In a vegetable oil deodorizing process, vegetable oil is passed through a deodorizer having at least two trays and operating at a pressure of less than about 10 mm Hg. A first tray of the deodorizer operates at a temperature of about 510° F and a second tray of deodorizer operates at a temperature of about 450° F.

Title: Flow metering
Inventor: GIMSON CHRIS
IPC: G01F1/68
Filed: 2002-04-26
Abstract: A flow meter incorporating thermal loss sensors and an installation adapter to provide known flow conditions upstream of the meter. The installation adapter is in the form of a tubular extension projecting from a flange which in use is sandwiched between a pipeline flange and a flow meter flange. The flanges are configured such that a passageway defined by the adapter extension is located in a predetermined position relative to the flow meter. The flow meter may comprise a sensor array supporting at least three sensors which are not in alignment, one of those sensors being located centrally within the flow meter and the others being distributed at equal distances around the central position. In use, normal readings may be taken from a single one of the sensors, the other sensors being used for initial calibration and subsequent calibration test purposes only. A comparison is made between the relative values of the outputs of the different sensors to identify sensor drift or potentially significant changes in flow conditions.

Title: A system and method for feeding lpg by injection for an internal combustion engine
Inventor: DE MICHELE ONOFRIO
IPC: F02D19/02
Filed: 2003-12-16
Abstract: In a system for feeding LPG by injection for an internal combustion engine, sensor means (S) are provided for measuring the electrical current absorbed by the electric motor (11a) for driving the feed pump.      The operation of said electric motor is interrupted when the measured electrical current absorbed drops below a predetermined threshold value. The system thereby prevents the operation of the motor-pump assembly, which is immersed in the LPG within the LPG tank, when the level of LPG in the tank drops below a minimum admissible value. Simultaneously to the interruption of the operation of the electric motor (11a) an auxiliary petrol feed system is activated. (Figure 2)

Patent CA-2460246-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HOLLENBERG RAYMOND MARK
IPC: A01K75/00
Filed: 2004-03-11
Abstract: This patent is to protect the method and apparatus for controlling, removing, preventing and/or inhibiting the accumulation, colonization or otherwise fouling of aquaculture fish farm pen nets with marine organisms, plankton and algae. The method and apparatus whereby this is accomplished involves the formation of a copper ion plume in and around the aquaculture fish farm pen nets. In general, the copper must be in an ionic form to be most effective in controlling, removing and inhibiting marine growth (fouling) on aquaculture fish pen nets.  The mechanism is, believed to be, attributed to the positively charged ions that attach to the negatively charged cell wall of the microorganism and destroy cell wall permeability.   The apparatus by which this ionic plume is generated is through an electrolysis process. Although electrolysis can be made to work under a variety of methods and for different applications, this patent provides an optimal method for creating a copper ionic concentration that is specific and unique to the aquaculture fish farms industry. The method of using electrolysis has been used in the marine environment for many years and all over the world to protect vessels and to protect the marine water-intakes from fouling with marine organisms.  However, the method and application of using electrolysis to create a copper ion plume to protect aquaculture fish farm pen nets is unique, this method and application has never been done before.   The electrolysis method uses two dissimilar metal electrodes. The cathodic electrode is stainless steel (but can be a graphite rod or other equivalent material). The anodic electrodes are copper and aluminum, where the aluminum provides corrosion protection. The oxidation of the anodes is by electron loss. The positive metal atoms of the metal electrodes oxidize to form positive metal ions, which form a plume (within the electrolyte or sea water) that may range in size and shape depending on the input variables such as voltage, electrical current, size of electrodes, but will also be dependent on ambient conditions such as temperature and salinity of the marine environment. Because the variables for creating the copper ionic plume can range so drastically, the scope of the protection afforded by the patent is specifically for the application, as it applies to the protection of aquaculture fish farm pen nets.   The electrodes are connected to a DC electrical power source of 2.2Volts using an electrical current of 160mAmps (although this may vary depending on the desired plume size and ionic concentrations). The copper concentration of the ionic plume will range from less than ( < ) 0.01 ppm to 0.1 ppm. These concentrations are sufficient for controlling, removing, preventing and/or inhibiting the accumulation of marine growth (fouling) on aquaculture fish farm nets

Abstract: An apparatus and process for measuring the concentration of hydrogen gas being transferred through a nozzle from a source container to a destination container and for providing an alert and/or taking action where hydrogen gas leaks may create an unsafe condition. The invention can accurately and reproducibly respond to and measure the absolute hydrogen gas concentration within the nozzle housing using hydrogen gas sensors that are selective only to hydrogen, which do not require the presence of oxygen to operate and which do not saturate when hydrogen safety levels are reached. These sensors are positioned inside the nozzle housing to allow for the direct and immediate knowledge of the presence of hydrogen gas that cannot be safely determined by other means. An apparatus and process for detecting leaks of liquid hydrogen through a nozzle during transfer of liquid hydrogen from a source container to a destination container are also discussed.
